madrid - Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has criticized tech billionaire Elon Musk during a speech in Madrid, without directly naming him, for supporting extremist groups and attacking institutions.
Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez delivered a speech in Madrid where he condemned the actions of a certain tech billionaire without explicitly mentioning his name. Sánchez accused the individual, identified as the wealthiest man on the planet, of openly attacking institutions and inciting hatred, allegedly in support of extremist groups.
The speech took place at an event commemorating the death of autocratic leader Francisco Franco in 1975, marking fifty years since the event. Sánchez's criticism centered on the billionaire's recent remarks and actions towards European politicians, particularly in Germany, where he allegedly supports a right-wing party known as Alternative für Deutschland (AfD).
The Spanish Premier emphasized the fragility of democracy and warned of the threats it faces from external influences. This criticism echoes recent comments made by French President Emmanuel Macron towards the same tech billionaire for interfering in international politics.
